Reply To: Indirect Fire Minimum Distance

[SteveT]

Under VEHICLES

“…distances are measured to and/or from the closest point of the hull of the model itself”

 

 

Under SHOOTING”

Measure the distance between each firing model and the closest visible enemy model in the target unit.”

 

They  seem to use Target and Target Unit interchangeably, even in the same paragraph

MEASURE THE RANGE AND OPEN FIRE

“…For example, a rifle can hit targets up to 24” away” and, later, “Every model that can draw a line of fire to at least one enemy model in the target unit shoots”.

 

All above is just about range and hitting. For HE, if  you hit, then you can decide where to precisely place the template as per the guidance in the rules. i.e., its placement doesn’t affect the range.
